THE Rugby Borough Council Cabinet is set to slash the Council’s funding for the Brownsover Community Information Centre on Hollowell Way.

In all probability, this will lead to the closure of the Centre at the end of March.

As representatives of the Brownsover community, we are opposed to this proposal. We call on the Conservative councillors who run the Borough Council to rethink their plan and protect the Brownsover Centre’s funding.

Scrapping funding for the Brownsover Centre would save less than £40,000 per year. To put that figure into context, the Council’s total annual spending on services is almost £16 million.
